tDOM 0.9.4 works with Tcl 8.5, 8.6 and 9.0.
The migration to Tcl 9 is the main point of this release.
Other works include:
- Updated expat (2.6.2) and TEA.
- Better HTML 5 entities support with the -simple parser
- More flexibility of dom clearString
- Cascading XPath 1.0 expressions.
See the CHANGES files in the top-level directory of the source
distribution for a more detailed list, and the timeline of the official
tDOM repository at http://tdom.org for a complete list of changes.

The README follows:
## tDOM - a XML / DOM / XPath / XSLT / HTML / JSON implementation for Tcl
### Version 0.9.4
### tDOM contains:
* for convenience expat 2.6.2, the XML parser originated from
James Clark, although you're able to link tDOM with other
expat versions or the library provided by the system.
* building a DOM tree from XML in one go implemented in C for
maximum performance and minimum memory usage, and DOM I and II
methods to work on such a tree using either a OO-like or a
handle syntax.
* a Tcl interface to expat for event-like (SAX-like) XML parsing.
* a complete, compliant and fast XPath implementation in C
following the November 99 W3C recommendation for navigating and
data extraction.
* a fast XSLT implementation in C following the W3C Recommendation
16 November 1999.
* optional DTD validation.
* a rich and Tcl'ish language to describe structures and text
content and to validate XML data or DOM trees or other forms of
hierarchically data with that.
* a JSON parser which parses any possible JSON input into a DOM
tree without losing information.
* an efficient and Tcl'ish way to create XML and HTML documents
and JSON strings.
* as build option an interface to the gumbo HTML5 parser, which
also digests almost any other HTML.
* an even faster simple XML parser for trusted XML input.
* a slim Tcl interface to use expat as pull-parser.
* a secure way to share DOM trees by threads
* additional convenience methods.
* and more.
### Documentation
The documentation is included into the source distribution in HTML and
man format. Alternatively, read it
[online](http://tdom.org/index.html/doc/trunk/doc/index.html).
### Getting the code
The development repository is hosted at <http://tdom.org> and is
mirrored at <http://core.tcl.tk/tdom>. You are invited to use trunk
which you get as
[tarball](http://tdom.org/index.html/tarball/trunk/tdom-trunk.tar.gz)
or as [zip archive](http://tdom.org/index.html/zip/trunk/tdom-trunk.zip)
The latest release is 0.9.4. Get the source code as
[tarball](http://tdom.org/downloads/tdom-0.9.4-src.tgz) or
as [zip archive](http://tdom.org/downloads/tdom-0.9.4-src.zip).
Windows binaries of the 0.9.4 release are also available. Get it for
[Tcl 8.6 / 64 bit](http://tdom.org/downloads/tdom-0.9.4-windows-x64.zip) or [Tcl 8.6
/ 32 bit](http://tdom.org/downloads/tdom-0.9.4-windows-x86.zip) or
[Tcl 9 / 64 bit](http://tdom.org/downloads/tcl9-tdom-0.9.4-windows-x64.zip)
or [Tcl 9 / 32 bit](http://tdom.org/downloads/tcl9-tdom-0.9.4-windows-x86.zip)
The provided windows binaries include (statically linked) the
HTML5 parser.
### Compiling tdom
Depending on your platform (unix/mac or win), go to the
corresponding directory and invoke the configure script:
../configure
make
make test
make install
Alternatively, you can build the tDOM package in just about any
directory elsewhere on the filesystem (since TEA-compatible).
You might also want to do "../configure --help" to get a list of
all supported options of the configure script. In the "unix"
directory there is a "CONFIG" file containing some examples on how
to invoke the "configure" script for some common cases. You can
peek there. This file also includes a short description of the
tDOM specific configure options.
Since tDOM is TEA-compatible you should be able to build it using
the MinGW build environment for Windows. There is also the MSVC
nmake file so you can compile the package with Microsoft tools.
Refer to the README in the win directory for more details about
building on Windows.
The compile process will build the tDOM shared library suitable for
loading into the Tcl shell using standard "package require" mechanism.
### Reporting bugs
Open a [ticket](http://tdom.org/index.html/ticket). Log in as
anonymous and report your findings. If you prefer to have an
individual login write Rolf a mail.
### History
tDOM was started by Jochen Loewer (***@hotmail.com) and
developed by Jochen and Rolf Ade (***@pointsman.de) with
contributions by Zoran Vasiljevic (***@archiware.com). Since more
than a dozen years it is maintained and developed by Rolf Ade.
